muenster (339), Sevierville, Tennessee, USA Feb 26, 2007 Bottle. Pours hazy amber/copper with a massive bubbly head. Aroma is a wonderful combination of spicy yeast, cloves, banana, mild fruity notes, and a slight tartiness. Flavor is much the same, and with a slight warming finish from the alcohol. Wharfrat (18), USA Feb 25, 2007 The pour is all about the big head. The tripel means the head is triple the size of the beer. It just grows as you pour, then grows some more.
It is a pretty golden hazy color with little bubbles.
The aroma is funky and fruity. Like in a barn full of apples.
The taste is complex, fruity, funky, maybe a little smoky. The alcohol is evident. The beer has a strong aftertaste- it just stays in your mouth.
It is a nice beer to sip on. I like it. jackson220 (136), new lenox, Illinois, USA Feb 24, 2007 Pours a hazy golden hue with huge creamy head, with nice lace.swEEt malts.. Lots of fruit in the nose, maybe pear, definately nice. Spicy flavors with some more of that fruit. It’s a sercret spicy belgian!
FrankJohansen (3327), Sabro, Denmark Feb 22, 2007 Bottly. Hazy golden orange colour with a huge creamy head. Powerful aroma and taste of malts, fruits and spices. Sweet and good. Good mouthfeel. NachlamSie (1630), Tennessee, USA Feb 20, 2007 Bottle. Pours an extremely cloudy light copper with an enormous, frothy white head. I mean, this is in a wide-mouth chalice and the head just expands and develops landscape. The aroma is fruity, spiced, and very complex. It has a distinct tartness, with hints of cloves, apricot, lemon, and just a slightly sour funk. The flavor is pretty well done. It’s not as sweet or dessert like as I was expecting. There are plenty of tart and bittersweet notes throughout. Cloves, banana, oranges, lemon zest, sour dough. . . the flavor profile is very expansive. This finishes on a floral, vegetal, spicy note with just minimal doughy sweetness. Pretty good stuff, very elaborate and wild. zebracakes (1214), Washington DC, USA Feb 18, 2007 Shared bottle thanks to CMUBEERMAN. Pours opaque apricot, thick white head. Aroma is funky, musty, tangy bleu cheese, sour dough. Flavor is spicy, pumpkin, bleu cheese, salami, wheat, pepper. mgumby10 (1844), Jupiter, Florida, USA Feb 15, 2007 First off this is about a 10 year old, 750ml bottle courtesy boboski. So, I will re-rate this when I have another fresh one. Ill make it a 2 for 1 rating. The old one first. It pours a fizzy golden amber with a medium light tan head. Pretty heavy alcohol and orange in the scent. The taste is more mellow than the smell. Light sweet orange, sweet malts, and other citrus. Definitely can taste the age in this one as its lost a little of its bite. Still very nice. Carbonation has held on well. Stay tuned for part 2. entropy1049 (40), Oxford, Iowa, USA Feb 12, 2007 Pours foggy gold-orange with a gi-normous off-white head...ridiculous carbonation; I can hear it percolating. Spilled a little on the rub and my daughters mini-dog is rolling in it like it’s vintage cat-poo...con brio...I do not know if this is a good sign or not...Aroma of spice, citrus (oranges) and hops. Surprisingly sweet with a persistant carmel note and actually really smooth...didn’t expect that...a bit of pepper, and more citrus...this is the Briggs-Rauscher of beer: carmel-citrus-spice-carmel-citrus-spice...Super nice brew!
